I don't know what the "greatest" is, but I like Mary Mary by The Monkees.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

When it comes to big riffage, its AC/DC all the way for me....Highway To Hell, Back In Black, Shoot To Thrill, that's proper rock guitar riffs at their best.
